Griffin - What Richard is describing is "hinging of the wrists" and what your describing is an old term "holding the tray" or "throwing the ball". So, if your right handed, at the top of the swing the left wrist is flat and the right wrist is cupped. If you can hold that right wrist you will naturally release through impact and you just gained some serious power. In Ben Hogan terms pronation/supination of the left wrist. J. Griffin –

Google "wrist cock" and read the definition of what it is. It is not the bending of the wrist towards the side of the forearm such as if you were to take your thumb and pull it back. Cocking of the wrists is the bending of the wrists backwards where the back of the hand is moving towards the top of the forearm as if you were arm wrestling and some is about to put your arm down. For right handers, the right wrist cocks and the left wrist bows. Richard,

I'm more consistent with it than anything I have tried and believe me I've tried them all. But I have the same problem as Don. All my drives fade which of course cost me 30-40 yards in distance. Not so much with my irons but most of the time with my driver and 3 wood. My clubs are Adams Speedline 10.5 and irons a 305 with Hybrid 3,4,&5. Any Suggestions, Please Bill Surge:

A friend of mine lives in the Carlisle area in England and gave me this information. We were planning on a golf excursion to Spain. He uses the Pro Stingers and made me aware of them since these spikes aren't common knowledge in North America. At the time he said Europe still allowed metal spikes because the ruling wasn't made yet but that was 3 years ago maybe the ruling is in place now. As far as I know the course he belongs to still allows metal spikes but I will ask him. I still hear complaints from golfers that used metal spikes so I am not alone. I called Champ and yes even they got complaints. The one thing that puzzles me is the lack of information to transition from metal to plastic spikes. I guess there is no transition possible. If you weigh over 200 pounds you are screwed period. So I am speaking for a few golfers out there with my concerns. For now I cheat by using 3-4 spikes on each shoe and it helps. Just in an email from my friend: ------- You can tell the guy that from the Manchester area to Scotland MOST clubs allow metal spikes even championship courses. I have not been stopped in 10 years, and you can quote me ------- Richard :

For the last 5 years with the help of the information highway, satilite dishes, magazines, golf books from the greats, like Hogan, Pennick, etc etc all the teaching pro's like Leadbetter, Smith, Harmon. I have read and viewed every golf swing, when there club goes through the impact zone they are all in the same position. I see bits and pieces of the PPGS in a lot of the pro's which Don has just commented on, two of the winners this past week and has pointed out things I have been seeing for the past year. This is the good stuff we want to hear and discuss in these blog's, how come no one changed Arnie's swing over the years, how come no one changed Travinos swing, these self taught golfers swung this way because it was the only thing they could do at that time to put there body in a position at impact that worked for them. Don has given us a new understanding or style to help us get to that position at impact. A.J. Bonar talks about people's limited abilities and in his video's shows how they can still play golf, but A.J. does not show you anything other the little home run move through impact. Don has that move in his swing, you've heard Don say skip the stone on the water and turn over through impact. Most of us get into trouble when we get the hands past parallel, we lose where are hands are and we get in trouble trying to re-route our hands back into proper position, with the limited turn 3/4 back swing you allways know where your hands are and Don has showed us that this is all you need to be a more consistant ball stricker. Freddy couples has had back problems all his adult life and he will continue to have problems, when Freddy lost to Tom watson a couple of weeks ago, Feddy's back was bothering him, I could see it in the body language. Don I think everyone that is having problems with this swing, can't seem to grasp the concept of swinging there arms and not there body, Don I look forward everyday to open up my emails keep up the good work and all you guys keep on asking questions, we all gain from it.
